When the op asked what to do wiith a red oil finish for use in the wet, and I said wax it.
Scratch that, he asked how well it would hold up out in the weather, then I said wax it.
Perhaps not being as clear in my answer as I could have been.

Oil finishes are soft. And not waterproof.
Better to rub on a coat of harmless wax than to create a situation where you have layers of sticky goo on your pretty stock. ie. uncured finish laying atop previously applied layers.
